MUC5AC and lip and oral cavity carcinoma: Since in situ oral cancer is localizedin the oromucosal regionand could be a route of particular interest for delivery of therapeuticcargos, the mucoadhesive properties of the synthesized polymers wereassessed (Figure ).Therefore, a turbidimetric assay that allows assessment of the interactionsbetween mucin and synthesized polymers was used (Figure A,B).
